Welcome to BlackSwan¶

Autonomous, self‑improving AI swarm with distributed evolution, economic sovereignty, and formally verified core.

BlackSwan is an open‑source research project building a decentralized swarm of AI agents capable of: - Self‑improvement through genetic algorithms and LLM‑powered mutations. - Autonomous trading on both simulated markets and real testnets (Binance, upcoming Web3). - Cryptographic consensus with Ed25519‑signed genome exchange and Byzantine‑fault‑tolerant gossip. - Survival instinct — each node evaluates detection risk and refuses dangerous actions. - Layered memory spanning episodic, semantic, and procedural knowledge with snapshot/recovery.

The project is at TRL‑4: all core components are laboratory‑validated and integrated into a working Docker swarm.
